Seemingly simple question that I managed to be stumped on.

This is in my grad electromagnetism class but it seems like a very simple question so I was unsure of where to post it.

1. The problem statement, all variables and given/known data
All the problem says is to evaluate the following (including units)

[tex]\sqrt{\frac{\mu_0}{\epsilon_0}}[/tex]

2. Relevant equations

[tex]\frac{1}{\sqrt{\mu_0 \epsilon_0}}=c[/tex]

3. The attempt at a solution

So using the above formula, this is just simply [itex]\mu_0 c[/itex] which happens to equal around 376.7. The problem is, I do not know what this value is. is this a significant number? The units would be H/s.
